Google General Counsel Kent Walker’s Gallows Humor

Speaking at the Ecommerce Best Practices Conference at the Stanford Law School (aka Google Law), Google’s General Counsel Kent Walker said that he defined success as not going to jail. Does that sound like something I would have said? Oh, yes. Flip? Yes. An attempt at humor? Most certainly. But odd for a guy who is suing Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood to stop what could clearly develop into a criminal investigation of Mr. Walker’s company and potentially Mr. Walker himself.
